Which statement about expunction for minors with Alcoholic Beverage Code convictions is true?

• A. Minors may petition expunction only if the minor has just one ABC conviction upon reaching age 21.
• B. Minors may petition expunction regardless of the number of ABC convictions.
• C. Minors may petition expunction only if the minor has never been convicted of ABC offenses.
• D. Minors may petition expunction only if the minor has more than one ABC conviction.

Answer: (A)

Expunction for minors with Alcoholic Beverage Code convictions is tightly limited. The law allows a petition only when the person is a minor with exactly one ABC conviction and has reached age 21. This means you file after turning 21, and having more than one ABC conviction disqualifies eligibility. If there has never been an ABC conviction, or if there are multiple ABC convictions, those situations do not meet the rule. Because the single- conviction-at-21 condition is the specific trigger for eligibility, that statement is the true one.
